So I officially swam a mile!

I'm quite proud of myself right now. Last Friday, we all headed off on the bus to the National Aquatic Centre, in Blancherstown to take part in the Ian Daly 'Swim a Mile with a Smile' Challenge. We were greeted by Brian Daly, Ian's Dad, who welcomed us and wished us luck. We quickly got into our groups and went out to the pool to start. I was quite nervous , but once we all got in we were fine! I didn't drown, which for me is great achievment in itself, and everyone really pushed themselves to swim as much as they could for the great cause!

 Everyone got into the spirit of it, and although we were all exhausted we were all really happy with ourselves! Afterwards, we weren't exactly in a great hurry to get back to school, so we wandered around Blancherstown for a while, then we headed back on the bus (before being warned by the teachers to 'hide our shopping bags so it looked like we did something productive today'). I have to say it was one of the best parts of TY so far! (I know I 've said this about nearly every trip so far butI really mean it for this one!)

Blog Challenge - a post in another language!

First of all I'd like to thank Google Translate for helping me with this blog post - I couldn't have done it without you. En fonction de Mrs L, nous devons ecriver un blog dans un langue étrangère, alors – Allons-y.!  Au début de l’année de transition j’ai pense que je oublait tout de mon travail scolaire mais il n’est pas vrai de tout! À vrai c’est l’opposite parce que j’ai plus de temps reviser et preparer pour le Baccalaureate  l’an prochain.  J’ai vraiment apprécié les experiences different que sont disponible au cours de TY mais maintenant je suis un peu prêt pour l'année prochaine, parce que l’année dernière j'ai été horrifié  à l'idée de le Bac! TY était vraiment le meilleur occasion dans tout le temps. Si quelqu'un n'est pas certain, je recommande fortement! Et maintenant, je pense que ‘le challenge’ est complete.
